I have been looking to move from my BB Tour to the Droid but I am concerned about why the Droids I have tried out can't animate the radar on my local news station website. Even my old BB 7130 showed animated radar. I tried the Storm 2 but for some reason it can't animate radar either. I am an athltic director for a school an use radar all the time at sporting events to track storms. From reading previous posts, I see that some weather apps have animated radar, but is there a way to get regular website radars to work? This is a must have for me. Thanks!

CRT, I thought I had a solution for you but it turns out it did not work. I use AccuWeather URLs in which I pass the necessary parameters for location, resolution, etc. - this used to work on my BB S1 but the animation is not working on my stock browser (the only browser I have).

When I had my BB, I used Weatherbug. I liked it a lot. I was so happy to find it for the 'Droid, that I paid for the elite version. I love this app. Especially here in tornado alley. I also keep track of the weather in my son's and daughter's cities. I don't think it does anything better than any other weather app, but I am use to it so I use it.

Yes. and it is pretty accurate in both the 3g and gps mode. I used it to time my daily constitutional, hoping to sneak in 2 miles before the storm. I made it and as indicated on the radar, it rained soon afterward.

I've used Beautiful Widgets ever since I got my droid. The only thing that drives me nuts is the little big of lag I get sometimes when I wake my phone up and that widget is the last one to load up. I don't use a task killer either. Other than that I love it. I have heard good thing about weather widgets donate though too so I may try that out.

As far as real weather widgets that let you see radar, extended forcasts, etc. I've currently got both Palmary and WB elite on my droid. I like the layout of Palmary alot, and my only real complaint other than not having a widget is that I wish there was a way to turn off the airports view and maybe put a button to view the Radar up there instead. I don't fly too much so having the airports as such a prominent view doesn't benefit me very often.

I like WB Elite, the overall layout and functionality is nice, plus it integrates using google maps so when you see the radar and satellite animations it's pretty cool to see it with maps.

I was using the Weather Channel App until today. We had some winds, and receiving audible alerts on my phone was a deal breaker since there seems to be no way to turn them off. Very stupid for them not to let us turn that off. Using weather bug for now, but I think I may get Beautiful Widgets.

In settings you can control what alerts you want to get.

I also like the different widget options.

Also soneone asked about animated radar. The Weather Channel app does have animated radar. Press Map It → Play to animate the maps.

I tried to use Weatherbug Elite since its on my Ipod and I like it but, when I tried it it was over a month ago and "FC" on me enough I removed it still within the 24 hr trial period so wasn't charged for it.I been using weather channel free since no problem with it.The blue icon weather channel shows on your notification bar turns to a red icon when your server weather notifications are turned on
I have used "rainydays"radar but its just a radar nothing more and I wanted more

I used to have weatherchannel app and tried the accuweather app as well. I just seemed to always have problems getting the times and weather in sync. The latest I downloaded has not given me any problems at all. So far so good!
